Chapter 58 Guard
"Open the ancestral hall and hold trial!" The old lady knocked heavily on her emerald-inlaid rosewood phoenix-head cane, looking righteous and righteous.
"Old Madam, are you getting senile? I am not a member of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion until I marry into it. So, if you think I am guilty, you should report it to Jingzhao Prefecture. Of course, Jingzhao Prefecture dare not take this murder case, because my marriage to Chen Ming'an was granted by His Majesty. Then, Jingzhao Prefecture will transfer this murder case to the Dali Temple." Zhu Huaizhen folded his arms and talked with interest.
In fact, the old lady must understand this truth.
However, the old lady wanted to fool people. After all, she brought a group of people with her today and they had a strong aura.
"Princess Ronghua, Haitang signed a contract to sell herself with our Duke Dingguo's Mansion. We want to seek justice for Haitang. There's nothing wrong with holding a trial in the ancestral hall. Once you plead guilty and sign your name, you will naturally be escorted to the Dali Temple. This will save the Dali Temple a lot of effort, and the Dali Temple will only be extremely grateful." Madam Chen was quick-witted and retorted immediately.
"Indenture?" Zhu Huaizhen shook his head and laughed.
After hearing this, Tu Mi immediately took out Haitang's indenture.
In fact, Haitang sold herself twice.
The Duke Dingguo's Mansion has Haitang's indenture contract, and the Princess Ronghua's Mansion also has Haitang's indenture contract.
"Your Southern Wu has been destroyed, and your indenture contract is invalid." Madam Chen took a look and sneered.
After saying that, Tu Mi took out Haitang's indenture contract.
This indenture was signed between Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu and Haitang.
Ahem, Zhu Huaizhen forged it when he was bored.
"Nan Chu hasn't perished, has it?" Zhu Huaizhen said with a smile.
"Mother, grandmother, stop talking nonsense to Princess Ronghua. She is just stalling for time until my cousin comes back." Gao Yan'er frowned, and her tone became sharp instead of gentle.
Wait until Chen Mingan comes back?
What a joke, Chen Mingan has never been her savior.
If Chen Mingan wanted to save someone, he would only save Zhao Lian'er.
She did need to wait, though.
As a princess of a fallen country, she has no martial arts skills and can only talk big, which puts her at a disadvantage.
"Tie him up and take him to the ancestral hall for trial!" The old lady finally reacted and scolded.
Immediately afterwards, a group of servants came forward.
However, Zhu Huaizhen picked up a plum vase with black floral patterns on a white background from the Cizhou kiln and threw it to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Wow, this is a plum vase with black floral patterns on a white background from the Cizhou kiln of the Great Chu Dynasty. It is an antique and worth a lot of money.
Zhu Huaizhen clearly noticed that the old lady felt a pang of pain in her heart and her face turned ugly.
"Everyone, use your brains to think about it. I am Princess Ronghua after all, and I have the marriage granted by His Majesty. Why should I hate a maid so much that I want her dead? I just need to sell her to a dark place where she can neither live nor die. Now you have listened to the old lady and tied me to the ancestral hall, where I am being criticized by a bunch of people. But, when your Prince Chen realizes and wants to seek justice for me, how are you going to defend yourself? Maybe you will be beaten with a stick and sent to Jingzhao Prefecture, where you will be skinned alive even if you don't die. It is better to let things take their course. At most, you will be fired. No matter how fierce the old lady is, she is just a woman." Zhu Huaizhen talked freely, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.
When the old lady heard the word "fierce", she was so angry that she wanted to beat Zhu Huaizhen to death, but was stopped by Madam Chen.
"Tiegu, Tiezhan, it seems that Duke Dingguo's Mansion cannot survive without you." Madam Chen suddenly smiled strangely.
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants automatically withdrew, and two old men dressed as guards walked over with their hands behind their backs.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen couldn't help shaking all over.
This is fear, fear from past lives.
